Halifax-area trail closed after possible bear attack

Officials in Nova Scotia are investigating an unconfirmed report of a bear attack on a Halifax-area trail. The Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNRR) closed a section of the Shearwater Flyer trail, which is popular for hikers and cyclists, from Bisset Road to Caldwell Road. The trail winds through the communities of Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage. “Out of an abundance of caution, staff will be setting some live traps. Any bears caught will be checked for evidence,” wrote DNRR spokesperson Erin Lynch in an email. “If there are none found on the bear, it will be released.” Global's Ella MacDonald reports.
